To start cooking

Turn the control dial of the cooking zone you
wish to use to the High setting, then adjust as
necessary.
When using dual cooking zones, you may
choose to use the inner zone only ( ) or the
full dual cooking zone ( ). See Fig. 9 below.
Some models have a cooking zone with a
unique SuperSimmer feature (see Fig. 10).
This special, low turndown range is excellent
for the most delicate cooking tasks, like
melting chocolate or simmering soups and
stews.
For further advice on cooking and using
the SuperSimmer feature, see ‘Cooking
guidelines’ following.

‘Hot surface’ indicators

As soon as you turn a cooking zone on, its
‘Hot surface’ indicator will start glowing.
It will continue to glow even after you have
turned the cooking zone off, until the glass
becomes cool enough to be safely touched.

When you have finished cooking

When you have finished using a cooking
zone, turn its dial to the off (
O
) position.
When you have finished using your cooktop,
check that all dials are turned off.
